Dave talks about how easy it is (and free) to cross promote your podcast. This is helped by networking with other podcasters who have similar podcasts. I play a quick promo I did for the Daily Source Code, I then turned around and used the same set up and ending and substituted a personalized greeting for each podcaster. It worked. While cross promotion may not get you 100 listeners overnight, it will help with your branding online. Thanks to Heather Vale of Success Unwrapped for our intro.

Dave has been track EXCATLY how long it takes to make a podcast. This includes: Researching storiesOrganzing show notes for recordingRecorind the PodcastEditing mp3 tagsUploading the mp3Creating the Show notes It turns out that based on my last 7 podcasts, you spend 4 minutes for every 1 minute of podcast. For example this podcast is about 10 minutes in length. As I type these show notes I'm at the 34 minute mark. OK BIG DEAL? Well, sometimes we get caught up in how fun podcasting is and we want to start another one before realizing that if we do a 15 minute podcast 4 times a week, that 4 HOURS of show production required. In some cases, you end up skimping on preparing good quality content, and then ALL your shows suffer. Just Dave's way of saying, "Maybe you should think about it before starting another podcast."

Used appropriately, music and sound effects can really enhance your CONTENT.

UPDATE: I sent an email to Todd Cochrane and he explained the RSS stipulation was to make sure a submission IS a podcast as some submit items that have NO RSS feed at all. Other sites such as clickcaster.com can only be viewed in itunes. Minor issues that can't be helped would be (more than likely) overlooked (I'm paraphrasing what Todd said).

Dave interviews Martin Perlich a 40+ year veteran of many forms of media. He is the author of the book "The Art of the Interview - a step by step guide to insightful interviewng from Empty Press Dave interviews Martin on his book tour for his new book "Wild Times" and Dave's choice of microphones was great (um, if I wanted to pick up all the ambience of Borders). Martin "Schools me" on interviewing skills. If this is the first time you're heard this show, the audio is typically not this bad. I tried to edit this, but I needed to keep both the left and right channels. Dave points out his own "Crap questions" and explains why they are crap (things like his history, experience should be listed before the interview - as a set up - not something your intervewee needs to answer for the 100th time). Martin's book has lots of good tips (how to prepare, listen, how and when to use a hard hitting question), and is filled with fun stories as you get to read how he approached different interviews. I recommend the book for anyone who does interviews on their podcast. You're opening questions (along with the questions that follow) will definitely improve. Your audience will thank you.

Thanks to everyone who commmented about the last show. Well I found out the hard way that the T30 DOES NOT allows you to plug in a microphone to the LINE IN. The line is for plugging in a CD player (or any other line device). Dave's answer was to go to www.ebay.com and buy a refurbished iRiver 899 (total cost 95.11 ) If you're not looking to spend the giant bucks on a Marantz 660 ($500), Roland-Edirol has the new R-09 coming out later this month ($400). Allan Stewart from the Marketers Podcast let me know that new models of Minidisc recorders have the ability to download to a PC. I checked into this an sony has a model MZM100 and it does connect via USB (Click the link and buy a new MZ-M100 from us and receive a free pair of Sony MDR-7506 headphones ($99 value) with your order.
